I18N Special Pages

[blackeye]

Hello everyone!

I'm facing a strange behavior of the Special Pages plugin (or, maybe, Custom Fields plugin). Here is the situation:

1. I created a custom field "link" (for external links from the menu).

2. I created new special page with just one extra field for the image.

3. When I'm editing the special page and trying to fill-in URL for the link (usig the browse button), the selected URL appears in the input field for the special page's image. Moreover, when I add some other custom field (in Custom Field plugin), which uses browse button (link or image), the first appearance of this custom field does the same. Only the first appearance. The second or third works as usual, just the first one does this strange error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

This happens when the 1st custom field and the 1st special field are both browsable fields (or both 2nd fields, etc.).
This is now fixed in I18N Special Pages 1.2.1.

Thanks a lot!

Ok guys I hope you can help with this one. I am using special page to make a news blog. I have a field created called "Category". I have this field marked to be "as tags". I am using the view function of the special page to display it's content.

Code:

div class="i18n-news-article">
  <h2><?php get_special_field('subtitle','',false); ?></h2>


<div class="avatar"><?php if(return_special_field('avatar')=='') { echo ''; } else { echo '<img src="';  get_theme_url(); echo '/images/icons/'; echo lowercase(return_special_field('category')); echo '-icon-60x60.png"/>'; } ?></div>
  <div class="date">Posted - <?php get_special_field_date('creDate', "%A %B %e, %Y"); ?></div>
  <div class="category"><?php get_special_field('category','',false); ?></div>
  <?php get_page_content(); ?>
  <div class="tags"><strong>Tags</strong>: <?php get_special_tags($slug='i18n-search', $separator=',', $all=true) ?>
  
  </div>
</div>

At the bottom of the page is lists the tags that are associated with this special page.

How can I get the "Category" field to show up in this tag list as well?

Hi all,

strange thing's happening to me.

I created a special page with the text field for a price. When I fill-in "0" (zero) in that field, I'm unable to output it. When I'm editing the page, I still can see that "0" is filled in, but when I try to output it, nothing appears (neither with get_special_field nor with return_special_field). When I add extra space or anything else, it's working fine.

It seems to me, that the system thinks that "0" means "nothing's filled", thus outputs nothing.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Since the text field is for price, you should try "0.00". Maybe using decimals makes a difference.

You could use PHP to test for the value

PHP Code:

<?php if(return_special_field('price') == '0') { echo '0'; } else {  get_special_field('price') ; } ?>

<?php if(return_special_field('price') == '0') { echo '0'; } else {  get_special_field('price') ; } ?>

Well, as I said before, the problem is, that even return_special_field returns nothing, so testing for zero doesn't make a sense.

Finally I decided to use the test for '' and it, of course, works, but I actually can't find any reason, why there is such a functionality (or a bug, maybe?) in the plugin...

Thanks

The problem is PHP's "feature" that null, "" (empty string) and "0" all evaluate to false.
In this case get_special_field will not output the field - but it will output the default value given in the second parameter.
So the solution to your problem is to use the default value, e.g. get_special_field('my_field_name', '0.00') or get_special_field('my_field_name', '<b>FREE!</b>').

Hi, great plugin! works for almost everything.
But I want to add in a page a map with (% googlemap: mapa1%) or a gallery with (% gallery name = galeria1%) in text field or text field Wysywyg and does not work. Someone has done it?

[Oleg06]

yes, I checked, does not really work

hello,

I would like to use special pages to structure a pedigree dogsite where I pull content from different pages and bring it within 1 profile page. Could someone please help me with the php code for the following elements:

- link from other page where the clickable link shows the name of the page
- picture from other page where the picture is a clickable link that goes to the other page
- text or bits of content from other pages pulled from other pages so that the profile page stays up to date and has a dynamic quality

I understand that these are content filters like which is talked about here:
http://get-simple.info/forums/showthread...#pid24811s
but I am no programmer and I have trouble with getting these things to show me this stuff which is why I loved the special pages plugin from mvlcek. If only he had included some idiot proof examples.

Hello, fellows,


I am trying to run this wonderful plugin on GetSimple (version 3.3.0b3) and haven't quite succeeded. Does anyone know if it works on this version? Or is it really my fault?!?

In my (very) simple case, I just added the following line to my "template.php" file:

<h3><?php get_special_field(atitle); ?></h3>

where "atitle" is the name of the input field. It is right, eh?

[Carlos]

I think it should be
<?php get_special_field('atitle'); ?>
(with quotes)

[jackfeliciano]

No, Carlos...

Not working yet. But I tested it on the current stable version of GetSimple and nothing happens... I really don't understand.

[Carlos]

So it also doesn't work for you in the stable version?
What should be happenning?
Does the atitle field have any value in the special page you're browsing?

[jackfeliciano]

Figured it out!!!


Page has to be called like this:

http://mywebsite/index.php?id=myspecialpage&lang=en

it doesn't work without the "&lang=en"! Simple but tricky!

Support for more images is not really there. Using the wysiwyg field for more images is devious. A special field type to join with i18n gallery would be awesome.

Hi everyone,

I've found two bugs in newest I18N Special Pages plugin v.1.2.1

Bug 1:
When you install I18N plugin and use only I18N structured navigation plugin (not enabling i18n base), I18N Special Pages plugin will not detect it properly as activated so 'menu' option when creating new special page type will not work.

To fix it, replace line 6 from i18n_specialpages/edit.php file
from this:

PHP Code:

$isI18N = function_exists('return_i18n_languages'); 


to this:

PHP Code:

$isI18N = function_exists('return_i18n_page_structure'); 


Bug 2:
When creating new special page type setting 'menu' option will not work.

To fix it, add after line 160 in i18n_specialpages/edit.php file
this:

PHP Code:

echo "if (changeParent) changeParent();\r\n";

Two things...

1. I'm experiencing an issue that's been raised before: I can't access the special fields directly in my template with

Code:

<?php get_special_field('myfield'); ?>

I only get a blank space, or a default value if one is specified when the special field is called. But, strangely, if I put something (any text at all) in the "HTML/PHP code for the display of a page" field on the "View" tab, then suddenly the special fields in my template start working. Any ideas why this is?

2. How can I set my Home page to be a special page? The Home page seems to be locked to the default page that is built in to every GetSimple installation and I can't work out how to delete it and replace it with new special page.

Thanks.

I experience the same, I'm always puts "<!-- -->" string in HTML/PHP code.
I think this is not an issue as I can see in source code.

I have created a special page and am trying to use a special field for an image. It seems fairly simple to implement, but it's not working.
<img src="<?php get_special_field('animation'); ?>" />
This is code I'm using. Whenever I change it to get_custom_field, it works, but only in 'view' mode.
I'm totally perplexed here. Any help would be much appreciated!

[xxdex]
